        I must say this new picturebook project is probably going to be my favorite book project to date.
        Finished another scene last week 🙂

          @Elizabeth-Rose this is just gorgeous! I love the design and the color palette you're using. And I’m really enjoying scrolling through and seeing the images shape up. Your work is very inspiring. 🙂

            @Elizabeth-Rose How pretty! You have a really good light source but If you want you could add just a tiny bit of rim lighting on some of the characters and flowers to make them pop out more. But it still looks good the way it is 😃

              @kirsten-mcg Awe, Thanks! Its quite exciting I must say!

              @MiaNova Thanks! And yes, that is a good point, I played around with some rim lighting! Goodness, it can be a bit tricky sometimes.

                    @Elizabeth-Rose looks wonderful. Did you engage a designer or design the whole book yourself?

                          @ksfabian Thank You! The cover was fun to make!

                          @ArtMelC Thanks, and good question, I’m actually a graphic designer by day, and a illustrator by night. So yeah, I do the design myself.

                          @kirsten-mcg Awe! Thanks! It’s been a fun color palette to use! I get some of my color choices from the Adobe Color website. Lots of fun combos there in the Explore Tab.

                          @Chantal-Goetheer Awe! Yes, I feel like its turning into one I want to hope into.

                            I’ve had this one finished for a while, just now posting it.
                            Most of the story is still in rough sketch & chicken scratches. I’m trying really hard to clean it up and get it to my beta readers by the end of this week. I’m actually a whole week behind on that. Oops!
                            And I just announced the Pre-order date for the first day of Spring! March 20th! I think its quite suiting 🙂

                            @MiaNova Check out the rim lighting in this one

                                And More rim lighting!
                                I’m still chugging away on the illustrations!

                                And. . . Finally got my edits and suggestions back from my Beta Readers. So many good suggestions! Hiring others to edit and give suggestions for a book in progress is sooooo worth it!

                                        @agathe Awe! Thanks Agatha! That’s so encouraging to hear! I’ll keep on sharing this project!

                                        @AjugaBee Yey! Thanks for sharing that! And in turn, you all on here are one of the reasons I’ve kept chugging along on this project 🙂

                                        Also, finished the rendering on another spread:
                                        75FDADDD-A046-4114-B8D3-31BAA77B1D06.jpeg
                                        The before:
                                        C5FF833F-1458-4C03-B8C3-5134D1E39A14.jpeg

                                        A lot of the spreads are not colored yet. Most are in various stages of the final drawing render. And as of today, I’m sitting on three weeks to go before I need to submit the final for print. Looks like I’m still managing to cut it close!
                                        My goal is to illustrate 3 hours a day, for five days a week until then. Fingers crossed!

                                        Comments wanted (and please, suggestions, thoughts and comments are always welcome).

                                          @Elizabeth-Rose you have a lovely project here, it's nice to watch how it grows.

                                          i just have one thought, when i look at your pages.
                                          The font dont seem to fit well. Its a bold font that draws my attention to the words. In combination with the handwritten dialogs, for me it doesn't work. Also because its so bold and black, and everything else is so muted.

                                          The postition you choose, also looks okayish, but could be a little bit better, in my very own opinnion.

                                          I don't know if the finished pages are mostly finishesd or if the Font is something you still work on. sometimes people point out something, that is still a bit in progress.

                                          its just a very hard and bold font, i guess you need two types because of the handwriting. but since the story is kind of lovely and floral, i would go for a serif font. It cold also be a medium bold one, it just draws my attention so much. i don't know.

                                          I hope leaving my thought here is okay. I don't want to sound mean.
